Speaking of frightening homes

Which house scares the most? Two cases


Why does a house scare people who dare to enter and travel around their environments? The loneliness and absence of people? The state of neglect shown in the deterioration of everything inside? Legends and stories of crime and other tenebrous things?

 Let's look at two examples. In Ontario, Canada, there is a building that has been abandoned for more than thirty years, there is no evidence that anyone has passed its threshold until now. The exception is the photographer whose works we show.










In Lima, Peru, there is a house of "horror," with its own name, the Matusita house. The owners have denied everything with rational explanations, however the second floor of the house has been uninhabited since 1948. Hideo Matusita, a Japanese immigrant, created te company for the sale of construction materials.  The Matusita store occupied the first floor of the house for fifty years and closed 2005 due to business problems. That year, a bank leased the property until 2015. The owners of the house tried to demolish it to avoid risks by collapse, but the Municipality opposes; For them, the Matusite house will continue as a source of ghost stories and appeared, until time destroys it.

In reality, the second floor rooms are totally deteriorated; in any case what causes fear is the feeling of abandonment, destruction and ostensible deterioration, as well as the thoughts about the people who once lived there. It is said that a strange woman lived in this house, accused of being a sorceress and condemned to the stake by the Satanic sect called the Inquisition, which frightened Lima between 1570 and 1820. Before dying, the woman threw a curse on the house.

However, for those who believe in things from another world, there will always be a frequent and haunting paranormal activity, as well as spectral appearances. Look at the photographs and if your hairs bristle, do not blame the ghosts of the Matusite house. They are kind and peaceful. And if devilish and aggressive ghosts appear, it is the damned of the Inquisition who continue to do evil in the world.
